comparable to looking at pictures of a loved one when he or she is away).
The picture stimulates love feelings even though you cannot connect. Is this the same as initiating tunes which you think lead to food? One is more unintentional than the other for sure. looking at pictures can also reinforce feelings and may be used to intentionally create sentimental feelings. These extra feeling states would i think be reduced by the author but seem to be both additional variables and motivation feedback loops. Hard to compare directly.
